Sale of food products was limited in the stores of Kiev

Limitations of the amount of food products of socially significant kind sold per one person had been introduced by many super-and hypermarket networks of Kiev, UNN news agency reports.

Together with rise of prices for the food products of the so called social kind, which is observed in the course of the last several weeks, the retailers introduce limitations on their sale per one person.

As the resource states, the limitations are already in action in several supermarkets.

A customer can buy as a single purchase:

• 2 bottles of oil;
• 2 packs of buckwheat;
• 3 – 5 kilograms of flour (depending on the store);
• 3 -5 kilograms of sugar (depending on the store).

Many supermarkets display announcements “Supermarket administration introduces limitations of per person sales of food products”.

One of the networks reproduces the recording of such an announcement.

There are no limitations for the purchase of bread, rice, potatoes and meat and dairy products. At the same time the range of choice of such food reduced substantially in many stores.

As Korrepondent.net has already reported, prices of food and petrol grew rapidly in Ukraine. Monitoring of consumer prices registered the growth of prices of vegetables from 13 to 18 per cent, bread and macaroni – from 3 to 5 per cent in average in Ukraine; price of sugar grew by 20 per cent, and price of petrol – by 18 per cent.
